Ardahan

Ardahan  Province is a province in the north-east of Turkey, at the very end of the country, where Turkey borders with  Georgia. The provincial capital is the city of  Ardahan. This is attractive open countryside which however spends many months of the year under snow.

At this altitude temperatures on average reach -20°C and can drop below freezing all year round, including summer months. The local economy depends on farming and raising livestock. Until 1993  Ardahan  was a district of the province of  Kars, becoming a province in its own right has meant more investment in infrastructure.
